Am experimenting with a Full Wave, Vertically Oriented, Rectangular Loop antenna on a condo balcony. Wire is #12 AWG THHN cut for 27.395 Mhz. Short sides (4'-6") of rectangle are vertical, long sides (13'-6") are horizontal. Antenna is fed in the center of one of the short vertical sides with a quarter wave length of 75 ohm (RG-6) coax, coupled to RG-8X into the shack. Feedpoint is approximately 17' above ground. No analyzer so no real idea of actual impedance of the loop. Cannot get SWR below 3.5 @ center frequency. Previous antenna was an Inverted V dipole that matched with no problem. Any ideas/help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
